Tim Ferriss, the best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek and creator of the new television show The Tim Ferriss Experiment, joins Brian to talk about how he employed many of the tools he teaches and writes about to battle through one of the most challenging years of his life. Tim also discusses how he responds to the criticism of being lumped into the self-help category, the lessons he learned filming his new show, and how we can make the medical system work for us rather than against us.
